Sean sent this in: I recently picked up a copy of the 500th issue of WWE Magazine. I was looking through it this morning and the different things they had in there. And on one of the pages of the Hits and Miss page, they were showing the Sickest moves, and they had it marked as a miss, because of all the emails they had gotten about John Cena’s FU being Number 1. But if you look at Number 4, you will see it has been whited out, in the issue that had the Sickest moves, Chris Benoit’s Crossface had been there. So it seems WWE is still taking him out any where they can.
